SailPoint grew ARR 25% and SaaS ARR 36%, but quarterly free cash flow fell 18.6%. We follow commission investment, stock compensation and the diluted share count to test what reaches common owners.
THE CALL: HOLD (3/5, MODERATE) — base-case value ~$16.50 vs ~$17.58 today.
KEY METRICS:
- Revenue $308.813M, up 16.8% YoY
- ARR $1.231B, up 25%; SaaS ARR $847M, up 36%
- Adjusted operating income $62.787M; GAAP operating loss $58.958M
- Quarter FCF $37.409M, down 18.6% YoY
- Operating equity compensation $68.321M; commission cash outflow $47.627M
- Fair value $16.50, range $15.50–$17.50, probability-weighted value $16.35
What to watch: Reassess near $13.20 with the thesis intact, or on better cash conversion: Q3 FCF above prior-year $49.046M, SaaS ARR growth at least 35%, and FY2027 operating SBC below 20% of revenue.
